First pic's of 6x GTX 970 F@H rig

BUCK NASTY · Feb 12, 2015

Been teasing you guy's for awhile and I've had it running for a couple of weeks now on 2x 970's, but the K9A2 Platinum died(respect). Should have the replacement Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7 early next week. Until then, the cards just sit and await their new Queen. Hopefully the PSU is up to the task, but I'll try it with 4x cards first to see the load. I've got some housekeeping to do with the cabling before the Mobo arrives. Still have 2x 970's Folding in another rig which is the source of all my production right now, but hopefully will move them over to this rig in the near future.

I want one.

T-Bob · Feb 12, 2015

Sweet setup Buck :respect:

I can't wait to see finished pics. Also curious about power usage and heat production.

The K9A2 was (still is) a great board, I remember having one plugged up with 4X GTX-260s back in my heydays as a folder

Nice rig Cap :rockout:

Ah, crypto cases. The crash has brought us nice things.

Sweet setup! Makes me drool over that ppd! :respect:

I tried reviving my K9A2 too. Installed Ubuntu, all was well, but once I put it back in the case, Nada, Zip, Zilch.
I'm shopping on Newegg for a new machine. Won't be near as extreme as Buck's, we'll see what we will see.

BUCK NASTY · Feb 17, 2015

Mobo arrived today and the rig is folding now. 2x 970's overclocked and 2x 970's stock. Gotta hack my xorg.conf in order to overclock/change fans on the last 2 cards. Currently pulling 624W at the wall, so i think I'll be good with 6x 970's on this rig. Currently producing 1.1M PPD :clap:

. Should pick up another 100K after the overclock on the last 2 cards. There is so little heat coming off this rig!!!

NastyHabits · Feb 17, 2015

Most awesome! :respect:

So isn't that ~double the PPD of one the 4P with ~2/3 the watts?

And 1/4 of the Heat. I could sleep in the same room as this rig(If I had to LOL).

BUCK NASTY · Feb 17, 2015

Finally overclocked all 4 cards to 1528mhz and I hope they are stable. Fans @ 50% and core temps are 45-50c. Drawing 641w at the wall now. :rockout:

That's approx 1900 PPD/Watt.

:toast:

manofthem · Feb 17, 2015

That's some crazy high ppd with some sweet OCs, low noise, very low power.

That makes me all jelly and want my own 970 now, even more than before.

thebluebumblebee · Feb 17, 2015

What CPU are you using? What is the load on it?

That's some insane ppd Buck :respect:

I'm in awe of that monster folding machine you have. Makes me want some 970s myself.

Running a Phenom II x4 B93 @ 3.3 ghz. Gonna swap in a FX-4130 to see if I can squeeze out some additional PPD.

Reminds me of my early bitcoin mining days... only with less cable tentacle rape, and more altruism.

imo, unless you plan on joining the 5GHz club, keep the Phenom II.

Nordic · Feb 18, 2015

That case is so efficient for that purpose.

I'd go for a 4350 instead, better IPC than the 4130 and higher clocks. Either that or a 4300; has the same clocks as the 4130 but 95w TDP.

I already bought the FX 4150 for $39.00. The higher base clocks may give better PPD production(something that @mstenholm and myself have been working on).

Pictures please.

NVIDIA folders still need 1 core per card, so I'm afraid you may run into issues scaling beyond four with that CPU. Sick setup though!

I have a x6 1055t that I can swap in for when the 2 other cards are moved over this weekend, so I should be fine. I might grab a FX8120/8150 just to have a few extra core buffer as well.

With the fact of how cool and efficient this rigs is, I have decided to run it 24/7/365. Did some calculations and should be at 1 Billion points in 6 months. :rockout:
